Abstract
Background The aim of the study was to investigate the comparison of anxiety, motivation and brain waves according to gender and education levels. In addition, the study also examined the relationship among anxiety, motivation and brain waves in kareteists. Material/Method: Sixty one participants voluntarily participated in the study. CSAI-2 (Competitive State Anxiety Inventory), STAI (State Trait Anxiety Inventory), Sport Motivation Scale and Pro-Comp Infinity Biofeedback Device were used for data collection. The data was analysed in SPSS 13.0 package program. Results: As a result of the study; While a significant difference between education levels was observed for the values of somatic anxiety and theta wave (p 0.5). Pearson’s correlation test revealed that there was only a significant positive correlation between the values of age and theta brainwave (r: 0.654, p 0.05). Conclusions: EEG biofeedback procedure is employed for reducing anxiety and increasing motivation and self confidence. The present study helps to arrange these psychological patterns for athletes and coaches.
